During the [[Forerunner]] [[ecumene]], New Carthage was one of their worlds known as Kaphus.

In [[2474]], the [[Hannibal family]] acquired thirty acres of land in the [[Pori]] region of New Carthage. This tract of land would eventually become the city of Pilvros, named after [[Jack Hannibal|Jack Pilvros Hannibal]]. By [[2505]], the family had constructed a building over the site of an abnormally large shard of variegated rock—called [[Pori Meteor]]—and the buried Forerunner structure. Later known as [[Hannibal HQ]], it is likely that this location was selected purposefully by the Hannibal family after the discovery of the subterranean alien facility. Within the next six years, Jack Hannibal had produced the first small-scale quantum photonic amplifier for [[SATCOM]] relays, revolutionizing the speed and integrity of extraplanet communication. This success would kickstart [[Hannibal Weapon Systems]], a manufacturer that would eventually hold a substantial amount of control over the entire colony.{{Ref/Reuse|HPoL19}} | In [[2474]], the [[Hannibal family]] acquired thirty acres of land in the [[Pori]] region of New Carthage.
